Safety notices
In order to enjoy your modeling hobby for a long time,
please read these instructions thoroughly and give
particular attention to the safety notices. You should

If you are a beginner with remote controlled model
aircraft, ships or cars, you should really ask an
experienced model pilot for assistance.
If this remote control system changes ownership, these
instructions should surely be included with remote
control system.
Intended usage
This remote control system may only be used for the
purpose intended by the manufacturer - specifi cally - for
the operation of unmanned remote controlled models.
Any other usage is not permissible.
Safety notices
SAFETY IS NO ACCIDENT
and
REMOTE CONTROLLED MODELS ARE NOT
TOYS
… because even small models can cause substantial
property damage and/or personal injuries if they are not
handled properly - even if caused by third parties.
Technical defects of an electrical or mechanical nature
can lead to unexpected startup of a motor and/or parts
being hurled through the air to pose a danger of injury to
you and to others.
Short circuit conditions are to be avoided absolutely!
A short circuit condition may not only destroy parts
of the remote control system but, depending on
the circumstances and the battery energy involved,
may also pose acute danger of incineration or even
explosion.
All motor-driven parts, such as aircraft or ship
propellers, helicopter rotors, open gearboxes etc.
represent a constant danger. Contact with these parts
must be avoided. A rapidly turning aircraft propeller
can, for example, sever a fi nger. Also pay attention that
other objects do not come into contact with driven parts.
When a drive battery is connected or a motor is running:
never get into the danger zone of driving mechanisms.
Be sure to pay attention that motors do not start
up unintentionally while performing programming
operations. Disconnect the fuel supply or battery
terminals to motors before programming.
Protect all units from dust, dirt, moisture and other
foreign parts. Never expose these units to vibrations
or excessive hot or cold temperatures. Remote control
operation may only be performed under "normal"
outdoor temperatures, i. e. within a range of -15 ° C to
+55 ° C.
Avoid mechanical jarring and pressure stresses. Always
check units for damage to housings and cables. Do not
use units which have been damaged or become wet,
even after they are dry again.
Only those components and accessories which we
recommend may be used. Always use original Graupner
plug and jack connectors which are made for one
another out of the same materials.
When routing cables, pay attention that they are not
stressed, unduly kinked or broken. The sharp edges
of adjacent parts also represent a hazard for insulated
conductors.
Be sure that all plug and jack connections are fi rmly
seated. Do not pull on the cable to disconnect a plugged
connector.
No modifi cations whatsoever may be made to units.
Modifi cations will void the operating permit and all
insurance protection.
Receiver installation
The receiver is to be installed with a cushion of foam
rubber to afford protection against jarring; in aircraft
models behind a strong rib, for a car or ship model the
location must be protected against dust and spray water.
The receiver may not be mounted in direct contact with
the hull or chassis as this would allow motor vibrations
and/or roadway jarring to be transferred directly to the
receiver. When a receiver system is installed in a model
with a combustion motor, all receiver parts should
always be protected against the intrusion of exhaust
gasses and oil residue. Above all, this applies to the
model's ON/OFF switch, which is typically built into the
model's outer surface.
Position the receiver such that connecting cables to
the servos and the power supply are routed with a bit
of slack and that the receiver's antenna is at least 5 cm
away from any large metal parts or wiring except for
other receiver wires/cables. In addition to steel, this also
includes carbon fi ber parts, servos, electric motors, fuel
pumps and all sorts of cables, etc.
Preferably, the receiver should be mounted in a readily
accessible location in the model that is well apart from
all electrically operated units. Under no circumstances
may a servo cable be wrapped around the antenna or
routed close to it.
Make sure that cables near the antenna cannot move
about during fl ight.
